infuse.js

javascript ioc library

installation

Just grab the script (infuse.js) from the repo for a normal use.

Or install it with npm for node.js:

npm install infuse.js

create injector

var injector = new infuse.Injector();

create injector with node.js

var infuse = require(“infuse.js”);
var injector = new infuse.Injector();

map value

injector.mapValue("name", "John");

remove mapping

injector.removeMapping("name");

test mapping

injector.hasMapping("name");

inject value

injector.inject(john);

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// map value to the name property
injector.mapValue("name", "John");
// create person class
var Person = function() {
	this.name = null;
}
// instantiate Person class
var john = new Person();
// inject values in the Person instance
injector.inject(john);
alert(john.name); // will alert john

or

var john = injector.createInstance(Person);

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// map value to the name property
injector.mapValue("name", "John");
// create person class
var Person = function() {
	this.name = null;
}
// instantiate Person class and inject values
var john = injector.createInstance(Person);
alert(john.name); // will alert john

Full example with constructor:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// map value to the name property
injector.mapValue("name", "John");
// create person class
var Person = function(name) {
	this.nameParam = name;
}
// instantiate Person class and inject values from the constructor
var john = injector.createInstance(Person);
alert(john.nameParam); // will alert john

map class

injector.mapClass("model", MyModel);

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel);
// create class that will receive an instance of MyModel class
var OtherClass = function() {
	this.model = null;
}
// instantiate Person class and inject values
var other1 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other1.model); // contains a MyModel instance
var other2 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other2.model); // contains another MyModel instance

Full example with constructor:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel);
// create class that will receive an instance of MyModel class
var OtherClass = function(model) {
	this.modelParam = model;
}
// instantiate Person class and inject values
var other1 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other1.modelParam); // contains a MyModel instance
var other2 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other2.modelParam); // contains another MyModel instance

map class as singleton

injector.mapClass("model", MyModel, true);

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel, true);
// create class that will receive an instance of MyModel class
var OtherClass = function() {
	this.model = null;
}
// instantiate Person class and inject values
var other1 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other1.model); // contains a MyModel instance
var other2 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other2.model); // contains the same model instance as other1
alert(other1.model === other2.model); // alert true

Full example with constructor:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel, true);
// create class that will receive an instance of MyModel class
var OtherClass = function(model) {
	this.modelParam = model;
}
// instantiate Person class and inject values
var other1 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other1.modelParam); // contains a MyModel instance
var other2 = injector.createInstance(OtherClass);
alert(other2.modelParam); // contains the same model instance as other1
alert(other1.modelParam === other2.modelParam); // alert true

get instance with mapping name

injector.mapClass("model", MyModel);
var model = injector.getValue("model");

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel);
// get instance created
var model1 = injector.getValue("model");
alert(model1); // contains a MyModel instance
var model2 = injector.getValue("model");
alert(model2); // contains another MyModel instance
alert(model1 === model2); // alert false

get instance with mapping name as singleton

injector.mapClass("model", MyModel, true);
var model = injector.getValue("model");

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel, true);
// get instance created
var model1 = injector.getValue("model");
alert(model1); // contains a MyModel instance
var model2 = injector.getValue("model");
alert(model2); // contains another MyModel instance
alert(model1 === model2); // alert true

get instance with class

injector.mapClass("model", MyModel);
var model = injector.getValueFromClass(MyModel);

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel);
// get instance created
var model1 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyModel);
alert(model1); // contains a MyModel instance
var model2 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyModel);
alert(model2); // contains another MyModel instance
alert(model1 === model2); // alert false

get instance with class as singleton

injector.mapClass("model", MyModel, true);
var model = injector.getValueFromClass(MyModel);

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = "data";
}
// map class to the model property
injector.mapClass("model", MyModel, true);
// get instance created
var model1 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyModel);
alert(model1); // contains a MyModel instance
var model2 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyModel);
alert(model2); // contains another MyModel instance
alert(model1 === model2); // alert true

create child injector (inherit the mapping from the parent injector)

var child = injector.createChild();

Full example:

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// map value to the name property on the parent injector
injector.mapValue("name", "John");
// create child injector
var child = injector.createChild();
// map value to the type property on the child injector
child.mapValue("type", "male");
// create class that will receive the name and type value
var FooClass = function() {
	this.name = null;
	this.type = null;
}
// instance the class with the child injector
var fooChild = child.createInstance(FooClass);
alert(fooChild.name); // will alert "John"
alert(fooChild.type); // will alert "male"
var fooParent = injector.createInstance(FooClass);
alert(fooParent.name); // will alert "John"
alert(fooParent.type); // will alert null

getValue vs createInstance

The method createInstance will always return a new instance.

The method getValue needs to have a mapping registered and might return the same instance depending if the class has been mapped as singleton.

// return a new instance every time
var instance1 = injector.createInstance(MyClass);
var instance2 = injector.createInstance(MyClass);
var instance3 = injector.createInstance(MyClass);

// return a new instance every time
injector.mapClass("name", MyClass);
var instance1 = injector.getValue("name");
var instance2 = injector.getValue("name");
var instance3 = injector.getValue("name");

// return a new instance every time
injector.mapClass("name", MyClass);
var instance1 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyClass);
var instance2 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyClass);
var instance3 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyClass);

// return the same instance every time
injector.mapClass("name", MyClass, true); // mapped as singleton
var instance1 = injector.getValue("name");
var instance2 = injector.getValue("name");
var instance3 = injector.getValue("name");

// return the same instance every time
injector.mapClass("name", MyClass, true); // mapped as singleton
var instance1 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyClass);
var instance2 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyClass);
var instance3 = injector.getValueFromClass(MyClass);

post construct

A post construct method can be added, it will be automatically called once the injection is done.

// create injector
var injector = new infuse.Injector();
// map value to the data property
injector.mapValue("data", "some data");
// create model class
var MyModel = function() {
	this.data = null;
}
MyModel.prototype = {
	postConstruct: function() {
		// called after injection
		// this.data is injected
		alert(this.data);
	}
}
injector.createInstance(MyModel);
